Compassionate Legal Support When You Need It Most

 

I’m an Australian lawyer based in Perth and the South West of Western Australia, focusing on workers’ compensation for all workers and legal support for nurses, midwives and other health professionals. My background in union advocacy, combined with an empathetic and collaborative approach, enables me to guide clients through complex legislation, insurers and tribunals with clarity and care.

I understand that by the time someone seeks legal help, they are often overwhelmed, exhausted or unsure where to turn. My role is to provide calm, clear guidance and strong advocacy — while keeping you informed and supported at every step.

I offer a range of legal services designed to help injured workers, healthcare professionals and employees navigate difficult systems with confidence.
